Without stacktrace and very incomplete logs, I can only guess what happens:
GNOME does not tell VLC to open a FTP URL, but a regular file. The file is
actually inside a FUSE mount point with a GVFS backend. Then somehow, reading
the file blocks. Since reading from a regular file is a non-blocking operation,
VLC goes to uninterruptible sleep (a.k.a. "D" state) and cannot be killed.
The thing is though, that VLC filesystem plugin is probably working
fine. It is most certainly the GVFS backend that fails to deliver data
and causes VLC to freeze.
